I discovered that tweaking the parameters to smartdrive gets rid of the problem. The windows installation set smartdrive to use 746K memory initially and 256K minimum memory. The problem was fixed by changing the parameter so that smartdrive takes 256K initially and 256K minimum. This is no big deal because windows reduces smartdrive's memory usage to the minimum amount anyway. Hope this helps anybody who runs into the same problem. -- Hugh Fader hugh@slee01.srl.ford.com
